Scott Morrison cancels event last minute as he tests POSITIVE to Covid after experiencing flu-like symptoms

•  BREAKING NEWS: Prime Minister is ‘experiencing flu-like symptoms’

Scott Morrison has tested positive to Covid-19 after initially testing negative on a rapid antigen test. 

The Prime Minister had cancelled an event in Sydney on Tuesday night after falling ill just hours after he tested negative on the self-administered RAT. 

He had a noticeable and persistent cough during a press conference on Tuesday afternoon.

Just after 7.30pm, Mr Morrison’s office told journalists he would not be attending a planned event in Sydney to light up the Opera House with Ukraine’s colours.

The event was planned to start at 8pm and the NSW government was advised he could not attend at ‘very’ late notice.

The Prime Minister’s office said he was ‘no longer available’ to attend but did not specify illness as the reason for his decision to cancel his appearance.

At 11.24pm Mr Morrison’s office issued a statement confirming that the Prime Minister has tested positive for Covid-19.

More to come.
